# std::seed_seq::param

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | numeric‎ | random‎ | seed seq

template< class OutputIt > void param( OutputIt dest ) const; |  | (since C++11)

Copies the stored seeds to the range beginning with dest. Equivalent to std::copy(`v`﻿.begin(),`` `v`﻿.end(), dest);.

If values of type `result_type` are not writable to dest, the program is ill-formed.

If `OutputIt` does not satisfy the requirements of LegacyOutputIterator, the behavior is undefined.

### Parameters

dest | - | the beginning iterator of the output range

### Exceptions

Only throws the exceptions thrown by the operations on dest.

### Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <iterator>
    #include <random>

    int main()
    {
        std::seed_seq s1 = {-1, 0, 1};
        s1.param(std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));
    }

Output:

    -1 0 1
